Climb #4

Climb #4 was so tough ... the three kids ahead of Ben didn't make it over the first ledge, and all were in his classes and part of the rock climbing team. Ben took a break between #3 and #4 and had a Clif bar snack and some water.
Finishing his snack and thumbs up, ready to climb.
Starting to climb #4.
Approaching the first ledge, where the other climbers stopped. Ben's so tall he powered right over it.
Moving up after the first ledge, the holds get much further apart here.
Powering up over the second ledge! Swinging his weight to leverage onto the next hold.
Right on over the second ledge!
At the top! Ben got a perfect score on all 4 climbs! We go back tonight at 5pm to see how he placed in his division.
